Tech giant Apple has released one other update for iOS, just weeks after dropping the landmark 17.1.1.
iOS 17.1.2 was made available to the general public on Nov. 30 and goals to patch two possible security exploits documented in 17.1.1.
“This update provides vital security fixes and is really useful for all users,” Apple said within the rollout of the new edition.
The corporate is urging its customers to download the update as soon as possible.
Apple was expected to release iOS 17.2 later this month with recent features and minor bug fixes, but security issues proved too pressing.
Security notes were published to accompany the update, noting two fixes for WebKit, Apple’s web browser engine.
The notes state that “processing web content” may “disclose sensitive information” and “may result in arbitrary code execution.”
iOS 17.1.2 will be downloaded via the Software Update function on the iPhone’s settings app.
No recent features are included within the update.
Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. are also warning iPhone users a couple of feature released with iOS 17.1.1 called NameDrop.
“This feature permits you to easily share contact information and photos to a different iPhone by simply holding the phones close together,” the Longwood Police Department wrote on Facebook. “This feature is defaulted to ‘ON’ which could end in you unknowingly sharing your contact information contact with others.”
